Thank you all I found some new plants and so excited to try out in my room. I attached a new picture with them on the stand that they are on now.
I have allergies and asthma. Found peace Lillie’s and snake plants. I find that most are outdoor plants but I don’t know it I can have tulips and daffodils inside. Cactus are my next indoor plant I’m going to try and do.
I posted my peace Lillie’s and snake plant I have already and they look great. I want to expand but it’s so hard finding indoor plants. Yes I’ve googled 😩
What others could you suggest that are for indoors?

I can’t imagine pothos or philodendron trigger allergies. I think I’m only allergic to tree pollen and ragweed, so our allergies might not be the same. I have many philodendron, pothos, syngonium, alocasia, monstera, and hoyas and I don’t have any issues. Alocasia and hoya flower, but the rest rarely do!

The main reason I have English Ivy, is because I live in an old house with toxic black mold, and I’m allergic to the mold, which is making me sick, and what English Ivy does, is it helps to purify the air, and reduce the spreading of mold spores. Which helps me, that is the main reason I have so many plants. They do well in bathrooms with ventilation, that are not drafty, near a window. Just want to keep the moisture in the air down, for the plant, and to reduce further mold exposure. If you want to prevent mold from growing on your plants, I would recommend sprinkling ground cinnamon with no sugar, on top of the soil, because of its anti fungal properties. When you have a propitiated plant your ready to pot, you want to put some cinnamon in the soil before compacting it too. Some people like to put a pinch or two of cinnamon in a watering can instead for watering. If your allergic to mold, you can buy an oil diffuser, and dilute a couple or few drops of tea tree oil in it, because tea tree oil also helps to purify the air, and also has anti fungal properties as well, and helps kill bacteria when properly diluted with jojoba oil, or coconut oil, or almond oil. To avoid burns on the skin, because essential oils are heavily concentrated with plant matter, and can lead to serious chemical burns. You want to make sure the essential oils are made of 100% organic/ natural plant matter, and have no synthetics added. If you are going to try that. Some oils are more expensive than others, depending on the plant, because some plants oils to supply use up a lot of the plant to make the oil, making it expensive because it’s used more to supply, and other essential oils don’t require as much of the plant much to produce oil.
